Brutal.

Monday, President Donald Trump joined Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland, for a closed door meeting. In the lead up to the meeting, the U.S. President faced heavy criticism for a tweet blaming the United States' "foolishness" and "stupidity" for poor relations with Russia.

The tweet faced further scrutiny when the Russian government official English language Twitter account retweeted Trump's post under their own comment of "We agree."


Then, after holding his private one on one meeting with Putin, the President again faced stern rebukes for his remarks during a joint press conference. The hashtag #TreasonSummit trended heavily on social media in the wake of the press conference.

And online resources Dictionary.com —and their sister site Thesaurus.com— decided to help out.

In a series of tweets, Dictionary.com offered some helpful words for the President and United States citizens in the aftermath of the Helsinki meeting.

Not to be outdone, Thesaurus.com offered their linguistic assistance as well.

This is not the first time either Twitter account has sought to help the President, his supporters like Roy Moore or the public dealing with them, out.

In the past they've offered these words of assistance as well.

The Twittersphere quickly responded to the latest posts of helpful words to know.

Guy Calls Out Bugles For 'Ruining' His Childhood After They Changed Their Iconic Shape

Possibly more than any other generation, Millennials were raised with interactive snacks and candies. From dippable cookies and candies to chips perfectly shaped for scooping and build-your-own pizzas, consumers found the interactive experience to be more important than the food itself.

Bugles are a fan favorite example, because while the chips were tasty and crispy, with a solid variety of flavors to choose from, the real point of them was their iconic shape, like the mouth of a bugle horn. Though we didn't openly talk about it at the time, it was a Millennial pastime to put the Bugles on our fingers like long nails, pretending we were fashionistas and gremlins and vampires.
